As a Certified State Floodplain Manager, Im taking a look at solving some flooding issues in the coffee country on the Island of Hawaii, upcountry from Kona. The unique geology and hydrology of the Kona Coast make for some fascinating and sometimes dangerous storm runoff conditions. ISLE is taking a low-tech, sustainable approach to solving the flooding issues so that there can be community involvement and buy-in on how to maintain good flood management and erosion/sediment control facilities themselves.
